I've had a tattoo for about 2yrs and all of a sudden it has like hives only in one spot. what can cause that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact Dermatitis: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) localized to the site of ink injection are often associated with metallic salts used in tattoo pigments (eg, mercury, chromium, cadmium, cobalt, nickel). Treatment is avoidance and treatment of skin inflammation. Topical or oral corticosteroids may help alleviate symptoms. Ultimately, removal of tattoo using laser surgery should be considered.
